Pyogenic granuloma, also known as lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular lesion of the skin or mucous membrane with rapid growth or repetitive trauma. Rarely seen in adult, its management varies and surgical intervention is usually common. We report a case of pyogenic granuloma of the right index finger in a 46-year-old gentleman who presented with painless swelling of the right index finger after a trivial injury. Wedge biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and excision of the granuloma measuring 3 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm was done with curettage and electrocautery over the base of granuloma. The wound subsequently healed well with good functional and aesthetic outcome.

Lobular capillary hemangioma, or pyogenic granuloma, is an acquired hemorrhagic benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. The pyogenic granuloma of the vulva is a rare finding and a limited number of case reports are available in the literature. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case described as a single pyogenic granuloma on the vulva.

ABSTRACT Capillary hemangioma also known as lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) or pyogenic granuloma is a benign, vascular lesion of unknown origin, composed of blood vessels and are probably developmental rather than neoplastic in origin. They usually affect skin and mucous membranes of the oral cavity and rarely nasal mucosa. LCH bleeds on manipulations due to high vascularity. Microtraumas and hormonal imbalance are the major etiological factors in its development. Total excisional surgery is sufficient for treatment of the LCH. Capillary hemangioma arising from the nasal cavity is rarely encountered in our practice and rarely reported in the literature. We are reporting this case of LCH of lateral nasal wall because of its unusual location. How to cite this article Gupta DK, Somavanshi S, Agrawal A, Bharti R, Shree N.

<p class="abstract">Pediatric nasal cavity vascular tumors express a wide variety of pathologies. Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is an acquired benign vascular growth of skin and mucosa whose etiology remains unknown, though trauma and hormonal influences are implicated. Although well documented in the head and neck literature for children age five or less, it is a rarity within the nasal cavity and has yet to be documented in the mid-septum. We describe a unique case of intranasal LCH and review the current literature. A nine-year-old male presented with one week of profuse intermittent unilateral epistaxis and no history of nasal trauma. Rhinoscopy revealed a pink, pedunculated mass of the right mid-nasal septum at the bony-cartilaginous junction. CT and MRI imaging were consistent with an expansile vascular lesion receiving prominent bilateral sphenopalatine artery supply. Following embolization, en bloc endoscopic surgical excision of the lesion using cold dissection was performed with no bony or cartilaginous involvement noted. The epistaxis resolved following resection. Final histology confirmed the mass as a lobular capillary hemangioma. Paediatric intranasal LCH is a rare entity, yet warrants consideration in our differential diagnosis of pediatric vascular tumors. Our study indicates these lesions can develop in the mid-septum despite the absence of a vascular plexus. Preoperative embolization should be considered for pediatric nasal cavity tumors due to concern for hemorrhage. Endoscopic wide local excision is an appropriate and effective treatment.  </p>

Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma) is a common acquired vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes in the pediatric age group. Pyogenic granuloma and hemangioma of oral cavity are well- known benign lesions. The clinical diagnosis and differentiation of these lesions is at times difficult. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual case of benign tumor occuring on hard palate which was clinically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma and hiatopathologically as capillary hemangioma.

Pyogenic granuloma, also called lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. While the majority of pyogenic granulomas in the oral cavity involve the gingiva, they also infrequently present at other sites including lips, oral mucosa, palate, and tongue. We report a case of a pyogenic granuloma of the tongue in a five-year old female patient.

BACKGROUND: Tumor masquerading is a common phenomenon seen in clinical dermatology. While amelanotic melanoma is known to simulate pyogenic granuloma, a benign vascular tumour, the contrary has been reported exceptionally scarce. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 52-year-old woman with a slow-growing lesion on her right flank, which developed over 12 months. On examination, we observed a large exophytic, easily bleeding tumour on the right flank, that resembled amelanotic malignant melanoma. Histologic analysis after complete excision of the lesion confirmed a pyogenic granuloma of the lobular capillary hemangioma subtype. In the present case masquerading of the lesion went to the better site after histologic investigations despite the delay of diagnosis caused by the patients. CONCLUSION: Nevertheless, the diagnosis of uncertain lesions needs a rapid histologic analysis to gain the best possible prognosis for the patient.

Anju Pradhan was added as an author of this paper on 04/03/2011Pyogenic granulomas (PG) are common benign vascular lesions of the skin and mucosa. They are neither infective, purulent nor granulomatous as the name might suggest-rather a reactive enlargement that is an inflammatory response to local irritation such as calculus, fractured tooth, minor trauma, rough dental restorations and foreign materials. Here, we report a case of 13 year old patient with PG and in addition to the knowledge, the importance of biopsy findings in establishing definitive diagnosis has been emphasized.
